| Description of the problem | My wife and i own a 2004 toyota sequoia. We bought it brand new back in 2004. Around 90,000 miles we had issues where the brakes failed. Pedal went to the floor board. Fluid was fine and pads were fine. Dealer said the front caliper pins were frozen. They fixed it. But now the brake lights keep coming on. Not sure why. Front and rear brakes are new. Worried about brakes failing again with my wife and kids in the car. My wife very worried as well. We owned a sienna in the past and now a sequoia. May not purchase a toyota again for safety concerns. With news today of toyota safety issues we decided to check the web and enter this complaint to help maybe get a recall to help make the vehicles safe and save lives. This is not good. |
